I And My Lord Poem by Mohammad Younus

I didn't take the human form of my own accord;
I was not asked for my willingness...
...when I was to be born (as His vicegerent?)
Had I known that the life of this world...
...is nothing but the enjoyment of delusion;
I would not have wished to be born here;
This is, however, God's decision to test me;
I must not be contentious and argue with Him...
...about his sending me to this world;
Just I must remind to myself that...
...of His spirit He has blown into me;
He is the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful!
Without my asking...
He cares for me, and blesses me with bounties;
I need not to moan or mourn for anything;
I owe Him everything I have, He is my Lord!
I live just for and because of Him;
I'm fond of His beautiful music and light;
And all His self-manifestation...
...in the heavens and the earth...
...and all that He has created between them!
